Question

Solve this equation for x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 1 = In(x + 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ - 1.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms

$log_{b}$ x = n ⇔ x = $b^{n}$

Given

ln(x + 4) = 1 , then

x + 4 = $e^{1}$ ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = $e^{1}$ - 4 = - 1.28 ( to the nearest hundredth )
